GLOUCESTER TWP. — A 29-year-old Blackwood man was arrested Monday after allegedly threatening to kill a woman with a shotgun, then holding a knife to his own throat and asking police to kill him, police said.

It was about 5:30 p.m. when police responded to the Foxcroft Apartments. A woman involved in a dispute told them the man was intoxicated and had assaulted and threatened her, said police. She said the man might have a shotgun.

The man refused to come out of the apartment and, at one point, was seen holding the knife to his neck. He told officers he had overdosed on medication, said police.

The Gloucester Township Special Response Team were called to the scene. The man eventually came out and ran into a wooded area trying to escape, but was caught by a K-9 team, police said.

The man, Michael Shealy, was transported to a hospital for an evaluation and released.

He was charged with resisting arrest, assault, terroristic threats, obstruction of justice and unlawful possession of a weapon and was lodged in the Camden County Jail in default of 10 percent of $20,000 bail, police said.
